We consider wave propagation problems over 2-dimensional domains with piecewise-linear boundaries, possibly including scatterers. We assume that the wave speed is constant, and that the initial conditions and forcing terms are radially…
Wave velocity is a key parameter for imaging complex media, but in vivo measurements are typically limited to reflection geometries, where only backscattered waves from short-scale heterogeneities are accessible. As a result, conventional…
Disorder is more the rule than the exception in natural and synthetic materials. Nonetheless, wave propagation within inhomogeneously disordered materials has received scant attention. We combine microwave experiments and theory to find the…
After generalizing the concept of clusters to incorporate clusters that are linked to other clusters through some relatively narrow bridges, an approach for detecting patches of separation between these clusters is developed based on an…
Wave propagation in architectured materials, or materials with microstructure, is known to be dependent on the ratio between the wavelength and a characteristic size of the microstructure. Indeed, when this ratio decreases (i.e. when the…
Agglomeration is an industrially relevant process for the production of bulk materials in which the product properties depend on the morphology of the agglomerates, e.g., on the distribution of size and shape descriptors. Thus, accurate…
This work introduces a complexity measure which addresses some conflicting issues between existing ones by using a new principle - measuring the average amount of symmetry broken by an object. It attributes low (although different)…
A one-dimensional wave propagation through elastically asymmetric media is investigated. A class of metamaterials possessing an arbitrary elastic asymmetry is proposed. This asymmetry results in different wave speeds of tensile and…
The presence of a scattering medium in the imaging path between an object and an observer is known to severely limit the visual acuity of the imaging system. We present an approach to circumvent the deleterious effects of scattering, by…
Hyperuniformity refers to the suppression of density fluctuations at large scales. Typical for ordered systems, this property also emerges in several disordered physical and biological systems, where it is particularly relevant to…
We study the propagation properties of the solutions of the finite-difference space semi-discrete wave equation on an uniform grid of the whole Euclidean space. We provide a construction of high frequency wave packets that propagate along…
In material science, image segmentation is of great significance for quantitative analysis of microstructures. Here, we propose a novel Weighted Propagation Convolution Neural Network based on U-Net (WPU-Net) to detect boundary in…
The aim of this paper is to provide and numerically test in the presence of measurement noise a procedure for target classification in wave imaging based on comparing frequency-dependent distribution descriptors with precomputed ones in a…
We experimentally demonstrate increased transmission of light through strongly scattering materials. Wavefront shaping is used to selectively couple light to the open transport channels in the material, resulting in an increase of up to 44%…
This chapter is a pedagogical review of methods and results for studying wave propagation in one-dimensional complex structures. We describe and compare the tight-binding, scattering matrix, transfer matrix and Riccati formalisms. We…
The well-known diffusion theory describes propagation of light and electromagnetic waves in complex media. While diffusion theory is known to fail both for predominant forward scattering or strong absorption, its precise range of validity…
We introduce the concept of a hyperuniformity disorder length that controls the variance of volume fraction fluctuations for randomly placed windows of fixed size. In particular, fluctuations are determined by the average number of…
We consider a generalised Webster's equation for describing wave propagation in curved tubular structures such as variable diameter acoustic wave guides. Webster's equation in generalised form has been rigorously derived in a previous…
Wavefront shaping enables targeted delivery of coherent light into random-scattering media, such as biological tissue, by constructive interference of scattered waves. However, broadband waves have short coherence times, weakening the…
All optical systems, which involve the collimation of a reflected, transmitted or scattered wave subsequent to tight focusing, are subject to two kinds of deviations. One is the wavefront curvature due to inaccurate focal placement of the…
